Feeder Bus Service 308 was a residential feeder route which served new developments in the Keat Hong area, connecting them to key transport nodes at Choa Chu Kang. These new developments were mainly Build-To-Order (BTO) flat projects, such as Keat Hong Axis, Keat Hong Colours, Keat Hong Quad and Keat Hong Mirage. Educational institutions served by the feeder bus service includes APSN (Delta Senior School) and ITE College West.

Bus Service 308 also provided an alternative route to Choa Chu Kang Bus Interchange to Bus Service 983 in the Keat Hong area.

    I took SMB85R on 308 full route yesterday (5th July 2018) during FIFA World Cup. This service should be integrated with 991 in the future?

    Ridership has steadily increase slowly so far,I forsee a good ridership once the BTO flats is ready.

    Personally i think this service should go inc clockwise direction at the looping point. Currently with the counter clockwise arrangement, the bus stops are located opposite from the flats and schools, meaning commuters have to cross the road for the service.
